## Summary

The Education and Training Foundation is currently seeking partners for the "More Pathways to FE" project, which aims to encourage final year undergraduates to consider teaching careers in Further Education. This tender falls under the education and training services category and is open for submissions until 25th September 2017. The initiative seeks operational funding for colleges and Independent Training Providers across various regions in the United Kingdom, including London, the Midlands, and the North. The contract, valued at £25,000, is set to commence on 2nd October 2017 and conclude on 30th March 2018, following an open procurement method.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in education and training services. Businesses that can facilitate educational placements for undergraduates or provide financial incentives to students may find this tender particularly relevant. Given the diverse geographical areas targeted, organizations with local knowledge and strong community ties in the specified regions will be well-positioned to compete effectively.

## Notice

The Foundation seeks to encourage final year undergraduates to consider a career in teaching in Further Education (FE). One approach to this is to get final year students to spend some time in colleges or Independent Training Providers (ITP), helping with the delivery. The Foundation is seeking partners to arrange this by means of offering financial incentives to the students and operational funding to the colleges/Independent Training Providers. As the partner might be working at a local level, we may be looking to more than two geographically separate partners to ensure a degree of regional coverage.
